THE TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST NOVEMBER 19 , 2017

Dear parishioners, When we took the commitment to welcome a postulant to the Holy Orders, we also committed ourselves to help him develop his tal-ents. More importantly, we committed ourselves to learn from him and develop our own talents at listening from him, offering our best feedback and evaluation. It is today keeping that commitment that I invite Mr. Wilson Estil to preach at St. A’s. This is his first here on the four he will share with us during his fieldwork. I hope you will offer him the kindness and generosity I am grateful you’ve offered to me. Together forming disciples and leaders for the church of God, please join me in welcoming his message.

Fr. Nat

“We are all Stewards of God” By Mr. Wilson Estil

Today’s gospel is a constant reminder of who we are and what we have to do as stewards of God. The bible tells us that a master put his fortune in the hands of three servants while he was going away. He entrusted one with five talents, another with two and the last with one. That’s a total of eight talents. This parable is similar to the parable that appears in Luc 19: 12-27. In both passag-es a master puts his servants in charge of his goods and goes on a trip. Upon his re-turn, he evaluates each of his servant’s performances and reward them based on the level of their actions, their abilities to invest his wealth or lack there off. The first two faithful servants, received praise and reward from the master. The 3rd. servant played it safe, went and hid the master’s talent under the ground and blamed the master of being a hard man, harvesting where he has not sown and gathering where he has not scattered seed. He received the wrath of the master. The value of a talent is extremely high. According to some research a talent is a unit of weight of approximately 80 pounds. As a unit of currency a talent was worth about 6000 denarii. A denarius was payment of a day of labor. The value of a talent was about twenty years of labor. At a median yearly wage of about $ 26,000, a tal-ent would be valued at about $ 500,000 .That is a lot of money to put in one person hand. Thinking about Bernie Madoff , and all the bad investors out there I would not have taken that risk. But the master did and not only that, he put more than 60

percent of his property in the hands of one servant. While I was reading the passage, one question came to my mind. Why was the master played it a little bit safer and fairer by sharing his wealth more proportionately between the three servants doing a ratio of 3, 3, 2 instead of 5, 2, 1,?. Investment is a risky business. There is always the possibility of losing your money or part of it. That’s why people went to school to study how to invest. They will tell you to diversify your portfolio and never put all your assets in one fund. One important thing in investment is that you don’t want to lose your money. Instead you want prof-its, you want benefits; in facts, you want the maximum returns in your investment. The master gave the first servant five talents, the 2nd two and the 3rd one because he knew what each of them can do; he knew their strengths, their weaknesses, their tac-tical abilities to invest. He also knew that the investment bankers only gave 1/10 of a percent. He wanted 100 percent. Sisters and brothers, each one of us is entrusted with something from God. Sometime we may pretend that we don’t have any talents or gifts. We may even be critical of some people who seem to have all the blessings to the extent that we excuse our-selves by saying there is nothing left for us to do. For someone to be in the field of God and not receiving anything from God is just impossible. God knows our ability. What we can do and not do. We must use the talent that we receive from God to the advancement of his kingdom, because if we don’t use it, we lose it.

THE COLLECT BCP p. 236 Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE FIRST READING

Zephaniah 1:7,12-18 Zephaniah prophesies that there will be consequences to the people’s sin. Persistent disobedience will not be disregarded. Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is at hand; the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests. At that time, I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the people who rest complacently on their dregs, those who say in their hearts, “The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm.” Their wealth shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them. The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the warrior cries aloud there. That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. I will bring such distress upon people that they shall walk like the blind; because they have sinned against the LORD, their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath; in the fire of his passion the whole earth shall be consumed; for a full, a terrible end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people People: Thanks be to God

THE RESPONSE

Psalm 90:1-8, (9-11), 12 Domine, refugium BCP page 717 1 Lord, you have been our refuge * from one generation to another. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, * from age to age you are God. 3 You turn us back to the dust and say, * "Go back, O child of earth." 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past * and like a watch in the night. 5 You sweep us away like a dream; * we fade away suddenly like the grass. 6 In the morning it is green and flourishes; * in the evening it is dried up and withered. 7 For we consume away in your displeasure; * we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation. 8 Our iniquities you have set before you, * and our secret sins in the light of your countenance. 9 [When you are angry, all our days are gone; * we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10 The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty; * yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone. 11 Who regards the power of your wrath? * who rightly fears your indignation?] 12 So teach us to number our days * that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

THE EPISTLE

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 The Thessalonians, and we ourselves, are called to live according to God’s perspective of creation rather than the temptation to the sleepiness of this world. A reading from the First Letter of Paul, the Apostle to the Thessalonians: Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape! But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people People: Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL

Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus tells the parable of the talents, of those whom much has been given, much will be expected.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People: Glory to you, Lord Christ

Jesus said, “It is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my



6

money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

The Gospel of the Lord People: Praise to you, Lord Christ

The Sermon: “We are all Stewards of God” Mr. Wilson Estil

Today’s gospel is a constant reminder of who we are and what we have to do

as stewards of God. The bible tells us that a master put his fortune in the hands

of three servants while he was going away. He entrusted one with five talents,

another with two and the last with one. That’s a total of eight talents.

This parable is similar to the parable that appears in Luc 19: 12-27. In both

passages a master puts his servants in charge of his goods and goes on a trip.

Upon his return, he evaluates each of his servant’s performances and reward

them based on the level of their actions, their abilities to invest his wealth or

lack there off. The first two faithful servants, received praise and reward from

the master. The 3rd. servant played it safe, went and hid the master’s talent

under the ground and blamed the master of being a hard man, harvesting where

he has not sown and gathering where he has not scattered seed. He received

the wrath of the master.

The value of a talent is extremely high. According to some research a talent is

a unit of weight of approximately 80 pounds. As a unit of currency a talent was

worth about 6000 denarii. A denarius was payment of a day of labor. The value

of a talent was about twenty years of labor. At a median yearly wage of about

$ 26,000, a talent would be valued at about $ 500,000 .That is a lot of money

to put in one person hand. Thinking about Bernie Madoff , and all the bad

investors out there I would not have taken that risk. But the master did and

not only that, he put more than 60 percent of his property in the hands of one

servant. While I was reading the passage, one question came to my mind. Why



8

was the master played it a little bit safer and fairer by sharing his wealth more

proportionately between the three servants doing a ratio of 3, 3, 2 instead of

5, 2, 1,?.

Investment is a risky business. There is always the possibility of losing your

money or part of it. That’s why people went to school to study how to invest.

They will tell you to diversify your portfolio and never put all your assets in one

fund. One important thing in investment is that you don’t want to lose your

money. Instead you want profits, you want benefits; in facts, you want the

maximum returns in your investment.

The master gave the first servant five talents, the 2nd two and the 3rd one because

he knew what each of them can do; he knew their strengths, their weaknesses,

their tactical abilities to invest. He also knew that the investment bankers only

gave 1/10 of a percent. He wanted 100 percent.

Sisters and brothers, each one of us is entrusted with something from God.

Sometime, we may pretend that we don’t have any talents or gifts. We may

even be critical of some people who seem to have all the blessings to the extent

that we excuse ourselves by saying there is nothing left for us to do. For

someone to be in the field of God and not receiving anything from God is just

impossible. God knows our ability. What we can do and not do. We must use

the talent that we receive from God to the advancement of his kingdom,

because if we don’t use it, we lose it.

Celebrant God be with you.

People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays, and on other occasions as appointed.

PROPER PREFACE BCP p. 377

For you are the source of light and life; you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord.



14

Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and

with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the

glory of your Name:

SANCTUS ET BENEDICTUS BCP p. 362

Celebrant and People

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of mercy and grace,

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. The people stand or kneel.

Then the Celebrant continues

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made

known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word

spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your

Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary,

to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from

evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out

of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it or lay a hand upon it; and at the

words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be

consecrated.

[En la víspera de su muerte por nosotros, nuestro Señor Jesucristo tomó pan; y

dándote gracias, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos, y dijo: "Tomen y coman. Este

es mi Cuerpo, entregado por TODOS. Hagan esto como memorial mío".]



15

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when

he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said,

"Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for ALL. Do this for the remembrance

of me.

"[Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo entregó, y dijo:

"Beban todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por

TODOS para el perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban, háganlo como

memorial mío".]

After supper, he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave

it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new

Covenant, which is shed for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink

it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore, according to his command, O Father, Celebrant and People

We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues

[Y te ofrecemos nuestro sacrificio de alabanza y acción de gracias, Señor de

todos; ofreciéndote, de tu creación, este pan y este vino.]

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all;

presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.



16

[Te suplicamos, Dios bondadoso, que envíes tu Espíritu Santo sobre estos dones,

para que sean el Sacramento del Cuerpo de Cristo y su Sangre del nuevo Pacto.

Únenos a tu Hijo en su sacrificio, a fin de que, por medio de él, seamos

aceptables, siendo santificados por el Espíritu Santo. En la plenitud de los

tiempos, sujeta todas las cosas a tu Cristo y llévanos a la patria celestial donde,

con [María, Juan, Agustino, y] todos tus santos, entremos en la herencia eterna

de tus hijos; por Jesucristo nuestro Señor, el primogénito de toda la creación,

la cabeza de la Iglesia, y el autor de nuestra salvación.]

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they

may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant.

Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him,

being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in

subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with

Mary, the God bearer, St John the Divine, St Augustine and all your saints, we

may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus

Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the

author of our salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and

glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to sing,



17
